Synopsis
The DNS server running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the MaraDNS server running on the remote host may be running a version of Deadwood, a recursive resolver bundled with MaraDNS, which is affected by an out-of-bounds read error. This issue exists due to the lack of bounds checking in the 'DwCompress.c' and 'DwRecurse.c' source files. This issue could allow a remote attacker to crash the recursive DNS resolver, resulting in a denial of service.Note that this only affects the Deadwood component.
Solution
Upgrade to MaraDNS version 1.4.14 / 2.0.09 or later.See Also
